I was born and raised in the small upstate New York town of Norwich. I'm the oldest of three and turned 30 in May of 2005. I'm married to my wonderful wife of five years, Melisa and we have a beautiful newborn daughter who was born in March of 2005. I began my golfing life when I was about 12 years old at the Riverbend Golf Club in New Berlin, N.Y. After a few years at Riverbend my father and I joined the Canasawacta Country Club in our hometown of Norwich, N.Y. After joining at Canasawacta, I began playing golf as much as I possibly could. I joined the boys varsity golf team at Norwich High School my freshman year and played all four years during high school. When I was 15, I started working in the proshop at the Canasawacta Country Club. It was my first job and I was thrilled to be working in the golf business. After my high school graduation I attended the State University of New York @ Delhi and majored in Golf Course Operations. While at Delhi I was a member of the men's golf team. Upon graduation from SUNY Delhi I moved to the central Florida area to begin my career in the golf business. In August of 1996 I began working in the cartbarn at the Interlachen Country Club in Winter Park, FL. In December of 1998 I left Interlachen Country Club for a position as the Assistant Golf Professional at the Winter Park Country Club in Winter Park, FL. I have been at Winter Park Country Club ever since. On October 1st, 2006 I was named the Head Golf Professional at the Winter Park Country Club. Over the course of the past three years I have also worked as the Head Boy's Varsity Golf Coach at Bishop Moore High School in Orlando, Florida. This season I stepped down from the Head Coaching position to an Assistant coaching role. In April of 2003 I passed my PGA Player Ability test at Rolling Hills Golf Club in Longwood, FL. In doing so I was allowed to register into the PGA of America's Professional Golf Management program. I am currently in level two in the three level program.
HOBBIES
Golf, Golf, & Golf.....Did I mention Golf? All aspects of golf from the game itself to the business side of it. I also enjoy Basketball (NBA or College) and sports in general. My greatest joy in life is spending time with my wonderful wife and daughter.
